“He came home for lunch, freaked out and didn’t know what to do,” said Battalion Chief Stephan Gollan.

The fire department shared the incident on social media.

Can you imagine lifting the toliet seat and finding this? Today Engine 13 responded to this exact call. Upon arrival the owner stated when they went to use the restroom they found the lizard in the toliet . Our crews took the lizard outside and released him without harm! #Mediapic.twitter.com/WxfwAYvh5K

“Can you imagine lifting the toilet seat and finding this?” the department said.

The man first called the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission and was told it doesn’t respond to that type of call. So he called 911.

“We are the end-all-be-all,” Gollan said when it comes to “unique” calls.

The crew on Engine 13, which serves parts on the beach, responded. Firefighter Jeff Kurus put on a sterile glove and reached in.

After fishing out the critter, he released it into the wild.

This isn’t the first time a lizard has crawled into a toilet. Or the second. In July 2017, a man took matters into his own hands and donned old ski gloves, a gas mask and a bulletproof vest and removed it himself.

A month before, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue’s Venom One unit removed an iguana from a toilet in West Kendall.
